Piping can't be consider as a problem because every auto shop has available silicone piping for all purposes: diameters, lenghts, curve angles, reducers... Besides piping, my case was even worst to make it fit because it needed to change the IC inlet pipe from 45º to 0º angle (hard to find a good aluminium welder) and make new IC supports (to reuse the car supports for the oem IC). The piping was made in stainless steel 304 with 60mm OD and was only used small pieces of silicone piping for connections. This way provide maximum and fastest flow, and prevent the silicone baloon issue. If you really want it, then go forward. I have it in my E61 535d and my friend in a E91 335d, and the 335i wagner IC it is a no brainer for a E9X 335d. Now if you want to listen people that don't went through the installation process and are only supposing, then is up to you.

I will quote what 335dwagon said before:
"The 335i intercooler is 100% non compatible without major Front end modifications." It is not that i want to listen to people especially you, I am ever gratefull you went thru it but in my end I HAVE NO TIME to spend in a shop to get it done, I am a business man whom also represents US veterans (FULL TIME)and on top of that I STILL play baseball on Sundays. So to answer you question I WILL wait for the WAGNER IC, although Cx Racing has one I love the WAGNER OEM style!! Comprende!! Capiche!!Understand!! Gracias |

It wasn't my intention to upset or ofende you. I bet that you have a busy life, but you also don't know mine to talk like that. About free times, you double my posts in just 1 year vs my almost 5 years of membership.
To others that are considering this mod, you shouldn't expect a oem fit with a aftermarket IC. All the IC surround plastics are made for the oem size, so you will always need to make some modifications in the front end - mainly trimming job to get room for a bigger IC. Make a little search (like i did) to all the threads about 335i FMIC install and you will realise that none is a direct fit: Wagner, HPF, Helix, AMS... All these need trimming job. I confirmed again with my friend and he said that the IC fit in the oem supports and needed a very little trimming job. His car has M-Tech exterior package. The only modification it was in the piping that links with the turbo. He said that he solved with a samco connection (less that $50).

Dont worry amigo I did not try to offend u whatsover,I know you mean the best for all of us and yourself, true be it even the CxRacing IC for the "D" I believe needs to have the bumper trimmed a little that is why I really am considering the WAGNER since they scanned the OEM of 335dwagon at the shop and will deliver a new version upgrade for our "D"s. Lunch time amigos got to go

Please can i just ask what do you do to keep your rear bumper clean lol
Mines is also a 335d, mapped, dpf removed, an the level of black smoke that comes out makes it impossible for me to keep my rear bumper clean!

NC335d, that product looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
Question, how did you purchase the product? I went to their site and it looks like you have to fill out a form and then they get back to you with a "quote"? Have you (or anyone else) used a comparable product and have any experiences to share?

This option was more attractive to me than applying the more expensive clear films etc. to the entire car. The total cost was $900 including a full interior detail, coating the calipers of the BBK and 2 sets of aftermarket wheels. I will ask my detailer on the procurement process and PM you. |

Don't get me wrong, the Wagner FMIC is a good product. When comparing What_A_D's dynographs to mine their was a notable difference between my car and his when tested. He had exactly the same upgrades as I did, tune, downpipe, same exhaust etc., sans the Wagner FMIC. The guys at BPC are going to customer fabricate the hard piping to ensure proper fitment and eliminate the weaknesses associated with the OEM fittings along with doing away with the Forge charge pipe. I should get the IC in by the end of the week and have it installed and running by next Wednesday. I will post pictures and results as they become available. |

I went with the VRSF 5" stepped IC for the 335i. It fit into place real nice. But it did involve some custom interface work on the in/out of the IC.
